BEAM ME UP Beading Workshop | The Blak Infinite
Event description
Join in the fun of Tony Albert’s BEAM ME UP, The Art of Abduction, in a series of workshops for children and adults.
Participate in a beading workshop led by Tony and his collaborator ENOKi, and take home your very own wearable out-of-this-world adornment. But be quick—spots are limited!
The alien is a recurring symbol within Tony’s practice. Tony uses alien and pop culture iconography as a way of looking at the ‘other’, promoting conversation in understanding difference and stating that all people have a place.
BEAM ME UP is an immersive installation which encourages interaction and for people to use their own technologies to engage in fun and playful ways. Tony asks audiences: ‘who is the alien, why are they here and what do they want?
Meet the artists
1.00 - 1.45pm, Atrium
Join Tony Albert and his collaborator ENOKi, in their installation BEAM ME UP The Art of Abduction and hear about their practice and the themes of alienation and belonging that thread through the installation.
